Frequently Asked Questions
Most EV charging stations get their power from the local electrical grid.
However, if an EV charging station is built in an area where utility energy is either unavailable or insufficient to meet the needs of the site, EV charging station owners can use temporary energy solutions to get up and running.
Mobile generators, battery storage, and electrical distribution solutions are an excellent way of bridging the gap until utility energy is available. These cost-effective solutions can provide a reliable energy source and prevent delays in the commissioning or running of your charging station.
Power is routed to an EV charging station from the energy source – either a utility grid or a mobile power source like a generator – through purpose-built electrical distribution solutions.
Electrical distribution solutions can include switchgear, low-voltage panels, cabling, and transformers. In addition to connecting an EV charging station with an energy source, this equipment also ensures that the energy is converted to a safe, appropriate voltage for use in charging.
It depends on the type and number of chargers.
If you're running multiple chargers at once or powering a fleet, you’ll need a significantly larger, scalable setup. That’s where modular, temporary solutions – like those offered by Aggreko – can help, giving you the flexibility to match your exact demand without overloading your grid or delaying rollout.
Today’s EV infrastructure can run on a mix of low-emission generators, battery storage, and load-on-demand solutions that optimize fuel usage and reduce waste.
Hybrid setups combine these technologies to cut emissions and operating costs while still delivering the reliable power that high-capacity chargers need. It’s a smarter, greener way to build charging stations that allow you to build a thriving EV charging station while supporting your broader sustainability goals, too.
